2020 Ford F-150

While the Ford F-150 is impressive no matter which trim level you opt for, there are some key exterior differences that could help this powerful pickup better fit your unique needs. The base level is the XL, but even from the beginning, the F-150 can be outfitted with the stylish STX Appearance Package. Upgrade to the XLT or Lariat trim, and you can outfit your F-150 with the Black Appearance Package.

One of the F-150's best features has always been the engine, and the 2020 model is no exception. With quite a few engine choices available, you'll find a powerful option right from the beginning. The base trim features a 3.3-liter V-6 that offers 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Other V-6 engine options feature turbo power including the most powerful 3.5-liter turbocharged engine that pushes horsepower to 450 and torque to 510 pound-feet. Of course, a V-8 engine is available as well that offers 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.

No Ford F-150 model would be complete without an impressive towing capacity. Fortunately, the 2020 version doesn't disappoint. At its base level, it can tow up to 7,700 pounds, which already puts it ahead of many other trucks on the market. That's just the beginning of its capability, however, as the maximum towing capacity for this pickup is a class-leading 13,200 pounds when properly equipped while sporting the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. As if that weren't enough, the maximum payload capacity is 3,270 pounds.

Inside the F-150, you'll find an interior you'd expect more from a luxury sedan than you would from a pickup truck. You can opt for luxurious features like massaging seats and a panoramic sunroof. You'll even enjoy enhanced technology like an advanced touch-screen infotainment system with the option for built-in WiFi connectivity. The interior is notably spacious as well, so even your back-seat passengers can get comfortable.

Safety is one of the most important factors in any vehicle, and the new F-150 offers enhanced features that let you drive with peace of mind. Numerous driver-assistance features are available such as automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection that will automatically apply the brakes should an imminent collision be detected. Additionally, you'll find lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist systems. The truck can even go so far as to slowly put you back in your lane automatically. The F-150 can also come equipped with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology that allows you to enjoy cruise control even if you hit traffic, as the truck will automatically slow down, stop, and accelerate in response to the changing conditions.
